LibriVox recording of The Riddle of the Frozen Flame, by Mary E. Hanshew and Thomas W. Hanshew.
Read by Ruth Golding.
Another full-length mystery story featuring Hamilton Cleek, whom we met first in Cleek: The Man of the Forty Faces. This time, Cleek investigates the sinister disappearance of people and the mysterious appearance of flames at night in the desolate Fens, and his friend Superintendent Narkom of Scotland Yard tries to solve some tricky cases of bank robberies in London.
While not quite up to the standard we have come to expect from previous Cleek adventures, it is still quite a jolly romp, and Cleek's cockney sidekick Dollops is always good fun.

Excellently read.
This is an interesting novel, not perhaps as good as the first in the series, but still satisfying.

I really liked this story
True, it's not as good as the first Cleek, but I thought it was good still.
Flames appear over the swampy moore, but if anyone dares to investigate, they disappear. This has been going on for years. When the arch rival of Nigel goes missing, he hires Cleek to find out what happened. Cleek investigates, but finds evidence pointing to Nigel as the killer.
Nigel is arrested and charged with murder. But Cleek is still on the job because he doesn't believe that Nigel is the killer, despite what the evidence says.
Ruth is another excellent reader, she is very expressive and easy to understand. Thanks Ruth!

Highly melodramatic . . .
Ruth Golding delivers another excellent reading but unfortunately, the book itself is ho hum. I liked Cleek: The Man of the Forty Faces. It's an original premise and Cleek makes an engaging hero/detective, but the writing on this sequel is well below that standard. Cleek is working through a complex web of mystery and deception to save an innocent man charged with capital murder - but there are many loose ends that I felt more frustration with the story telling than I felt sympathy or fear for the innocent man. (Did Mary and Thomas forget that they had the doctor give the young Lord a sleeping draught the night of the supposed murder?) Unfortunately, with no believable tension in the plot, Cleek's unveiling of the web of crime was ho hum.
Still - I listed to the whole thing just to hear what Ruth did with the story. She is an excellent dramatic reader and kept me coming back for more.
